MarShawn Lloyd Participating in Packers OTAs

Wednesday, May 27, 12:36 PM

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd is taking part in his team's OTAs, per Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. The 25-year-old spent the entirety of the 2025 season on Injured Reserve due to hamstring and calf injuries, but he appears to be healthy and ready to go heading into 2026. Injuries have been a major issue for Lloyd since the Packers selected him in the third round of the NFL Draft, as he's played in just one game for the team over the first two seasons of his career. Still, he could be in line for a prominent role in Green Bay in 2026 with Packers RB1 Josh Jacobs currently embroiled in legal issues. Even if Jacobs ultimately avoids missed time, Lloyd could beat out fellow Packers back Chris Brooks for the team's primary backup role with a strong performance in training camp and a healthy preseason.

Tyjae Spears Facing Competition in a Contract Year

Sunday, April 26, 9:18 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears will face added competition in the backfield during the 2026 season. Spears and teammate Tony Pollard survived the first two days of the draft without the team selecting a running back, but that changed on Day 3 when they selected Penn State standout Nicholas Singleton. Singleton had an explosive 2024 season but cooled off in 2025, dropping his draft stock significantly. Still, the Penn State product has proven that he is a talented player capable of contributing on the ground or through the air. That's bad news for Spears, who is a pass-catching specialist and typically gets on the field for third downs. Singleton had 91 catches and 902 receiving yards over his final three collegiate seasons. It's a contract year for Spears, so he'll do everything he can to fight for playing time so that he can showcase himself ahead of free agency. Day 3 picks typically don't contribute right away, so Spears will at least have an opportunity to solidify his role early in the season.
